Finland: Stamps: Scott 16-24 -- 1875 Perf 11 4-Numerals
Scott numbers have been given for these listings. If you would prefer to examine the stamps before purchasing, or you are any seeking stamps (or any condition or any quality) not listed here, please send your want list using your choice of Scott or Facit numbers.
Unless there is a 6-digit item number in the left-most column, the images shown in this section are standard images of the issues from my image library; they are presented to show the designs of the stamp issues and not to show the specific individual stamps being offered. The centering of the stamps in the images is usually Superb or VF quality; again these are not images of the individual stamps being offered. Most early stamps had multiple printings, thus color shades vary greatly; the colors in the images are random printings/colors. If there is a 6-digit item number in the left-most column, the image is of the actual item being offered.
All the listed conditions and qualities were in stock at the moment this list was prepared and I endeavor to maintain them in stock and to keep this website updated. However, my stock changes daily and (to paraphrase) good stamps are hard to find. If you are willing to accept a different grade or quality if an item is temporarily out of stock, please let me know when ordering (add a comment at the conclusion of the shopping cart process) and please also let me know of any alternates you will consider. Furthermore, new stamps are being put in stock every day; if the quality and/or condition you are seeking is not listed, please send your want list.
The publication of this list is a "first effort" in quite a long time. It surely includes a few errors; I will be grateful if you would inform me of any errors. Stamps "missing" from the list simply might not be included because they are not in stock or are singles which are normally only listed in full sets. Just the same if it seems like something obvious (and not a single from a set) is missing, please let me know. If you can offer for sale items that are not listed here, please do so; I especially need sources of pre-1930 mint (hinged or never hinged) stamps and recent used complete sets. Prices are subject to typographical error and change, but I will do my best to honor the listed prices to the extent of available stock.
TIP: These price list pages are in Scott number order. To most easily navigate these stamp price list pages, use the "drop down" menu located above this text (and at the bottom of every page). You can also hover over the numbered page links and read the name of the page in the bottom status bar of your browser.
The stamps of Scott #17-24 have exceptional quality criteria and descriptions due to their method of production. The centering normally varies greatly and the size of the stamps themselves varies greatly.
VF: Well centered within whatever the size of the stamp paper. Either margins all around or perforations just touching one side if otherwise the stamp is of superior appearance. F-VF: Fairly well centered, but off in one direction. Perforations may be just touching on two sides or cutting on one side if appearance is otherwise nice. Fine: Centering off in two directions. Perforations can touch or cut the design. Average: Perforations cut the design on two sides.

18 [1875 5 penni 4-Numeral, Perf 11] Used with VF-XF centering and boxed "ANK" (Swedish for received or arrival) cancellation. Would be XF or Superb if not for an extremely wide left margin. Oversize stamp all around. Brilliant Yellow-Orange color. Very attractive example!

Scott #18 Pale Orange [1875 5 penni 4-Numerals, Perforation 11] Used with VF centering but has XF overall appearance. Very fresh and attractive with delicate color, very light cancellation, and "perfect" perforations. Though light and partial, the cancellation can be determined to be a sans-serif "PIELISJ(ÄRVI) arc-style cancellation. [Gummesson / Ossa / Stenberg (1974) state that this cancellation is known from "...the end of 1875 until 1890." Though this is not a "scarce" stamp, examples this nice looking are hard to find.

19 Dark Bluish Green on Thin Paper, Facit #14Sc (Bluish) [1875 8 penni 4-Numeral, Perf 11] Used with VF centering and neat town (partial ABO 2-ring) cancellation. The color difference is subtle, but this is the Dark Bluish Green. The paper is always thin on this color, but this example is unusually bright white. An excellent, attractive example.

19 [1875 8 penni LIGHT BLUISH GREEN 4-Numeral, Perf 11] Used with Fine centering and light cancellation. Looks nice, but has crease and thin. This is the first color/printing of the 8 penni stamp; only 70,000 were printed of the total 450,000 8 penni stamps. Because it is such a distinct color I have (just now) pointed out to the Scott editors that I think it should be listed in the Scott Classic catalog. Facit SEK 650. Offered at a very low price.

Scott #21 Ultramarine [1875 20 penni 4-Numerals, Perforation 11] Used with XF centering, very large margins, and partial 9 December 1881 cancellation. Very fresh and attractive with excellent color, very light corner cancellation, and "perfect" perforations. Though this is certainly not a "scarce" stamp, examples this nice looking can be hard to find.

Scott #22 Dark Carmine [1879 25 penni carmine 4-Numerals, Perforation 11] Used with VF centering, but with a tiny tear only in the left margin (you may need a 10x magnifier to find it). Neat 2-ring ÅB(O) cancellation. Very fresh and pretty appearance with intense color. This would otherwise be $16.75!

Scott #23 Dark Carmine [1875 32 penni 4-Numerals, Perforation 11] Used with XF centering and a Superbly struck, 98% complete, rounded-boxed "FR.KO" (franko = franco = paid) cancellation. This cancellation is often seen on covers, but much less often used to cancel the stamp(s), and seldom well centered on a stamp. Wonderful deep color with perforations as "perfect" as they get for this stamp. A beautiful example; the nicest I have seen in a long time!

23 Dark Carmine [1875 32 penni 4-Numerals, Perf 11] Used F-VF centered with large margins and light cancellation, but with additional orange-colored cancellation or marking on the lower left corner; probably a transit or receiving mark from a foreign mail cover. Attractive stamp. Normally $47 for Used F-VF.

Scott #23 Carmine [1875 32 penni 4-Numerals, Perf 11] Used with F-VF centering and extremely light, neat lower-corner cancellation. Wonderful color and excellent cancellations. Though "only" F-VF centered the total appearance of this stamp is of a Superb example! One of the prettiest examples I have seen in a long time!

23a Dull Light Rose (Facit #18Saxx) [1875 32 penni 4-Numeral, Perf 11] Used with F-VF centering. This printing naturally has extremely thin (translucent) paper, but this example additionally has a touch of gum-soak staining (fairly common on this printing because of the extremely thin paper), making it even more translucent. Tiny blue corner cancel. This stamp is misidentified or missing in most collections. Otherwise would be $85.

24 [1877 1 mark 4-Numeral, Perf 11] Used with F-VF+ centering and neat, light cancellation. Strong color and excellent perforations. Without any defects or repairs -- quite unusual for this stamp. A very attractive example of a scarce stamp -- especially in nice quality -- that is missing from most collections.
